Isa 6:9-12 And He said, Go, and tell this people, You hear indeed, but do not understand; and seeing you see, but do not know.
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn back, and be healed.
Then I said, Lord, how long? And He answered, Until the cities are wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land laid waste, a desolation, and until Jehovah has moved men far away, and the desolation in the midst of the land is great.

Shabbat Shalom to the Royal Family of Yehovah,
Our website went down hard this week, and I want to thank James once again for bringing us back online and keeping us there for all of you. We have added yet another level of security. Kinsta, our host, became infected with malware, which then infected all of those they hosted, including us. It went on for five days before they detected it, but by then, our site was completely corrupted. Please do keep us in your prayers as we strive to keep you informed.
As we get closer to the NRB convention in February, I ask that you raise us up in your prayers so that the website and our efforts at this event are professional and successful in achieving Yehovah’s will, that we reach those He is calling and warn those He is not calling at this time. Pray that each of us presenting can show the importance of the Jubilee cycles in understanding these last days and how close we are to the start of the 7th millennium. I also ask that you pray for each of our health so we do not get sick leading up to and during the convention.
The New moon will be visible this coming Monday evening. It may be visible on Sunday evening. Just by doing this simple exercise of going out and looking for the moon, you learn the meaning of “No man can know the day or the hour.” Once you understand, you will know which calendar you are to follow. We explain this in our book It Was A Riddle Not A Command. I hope you have read it and shared it with others.
I would like to share what Sombra had to say about this in our Telegram group this week. It Was A Riddle Not A Command was her most favorite book until she began to read The Stones Cry Out Part 1.
And yes, many observe the Equinox.There are many who are deceived, improperly educated.And this is why Joe puts out a newsletter every week, why he writes books, why the SightedMoon Zoom Shabbat service started, why he travels to places like England and the Philippines to share this message and why were are going to the NRB in February.The calendar is always a divisive issue in social circles because the details are many, that’s why there are so many books Joe has written.I’m not looking to put Joe on a pedestal here.This is not about Joe worship.But Joe has tenaciously studied out the calendar from every angle, not to prove himself right, to to seek to find and share what Yehovah is telling us about His Calendar.
In The Stones Cry Out, Joe has shared the history of all the different groups within Israel, and the beliefs they had about the scriptures and the feast days and the calendar.When you line it all up, you can see for yourself the how and why these misunderstandings and arguments about how and where and why they came about.
This is my new favourite book and I’m only 60-70 pages in.And I encourage you to read the footnotes in this one.Sometimes there’s more footnote on the page than Joe’s words.
Just click on the links in the tabs below to learn more about each book we have featured.
In our last two newsletters, we have been focusing on the plagues of Egypt that are coming in these last few days. We have shown you what the 10 Days of Awe look like as a period of judgment in these final 10 years of Satan’s freedom here on earth during the end of the 6th millennium. To understand this time of judgment we have been explaining the Egyptian gods. One of them is shown to us in the 5th Trumpet plague of Revelation. His name was Apollyon and it is this god I want to focus on this week as some of you are setting yourselves up to follow him. If possible, even the elect will be deceived.
Yehshua said:
Mat 16:2He answered and said to them, When it is evening, you say, Fair weather; for the sky is red.
Mat 16:3And in the morning, Foul weather today; for the sky is red and gloomy. Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky, but you cannot see the signs of the times!
Luk 12:54And He also said to the crowd, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately you say, There is a shower coming. And so it is.
Luk 12:55And when you see the south wind blow, you say, There will be heat; and it occurs.
Luk 12:56Hypocrites! You know to discern the face of the heaven and the earth, but how is it that you do not discern this time?
Each week since I began this Newsletter in August of 2006 (this is when we went online for the first time) I have been striving to show you what prophecy looks like today. To get away from religious holy smoke, conspiracy fake information and show you what prophecy looks like today on the nightly news and to do so using the Sabbatical and Jubilee cycles to do so.
Last week we had two news articles about preparing for the coming WW III.
The head of the NATO Military Committee, Rob Bauer, warned the businesses of Europe to bring their production up to a wartime scenario and that NATO countries were seriously lacking in this area. At the same time another article stated that Sweden, Norway and Finland were also warning their citizens to prepare for war and have adequate food and water for up to three months in case of war.
Ukraine’s ambassador, Valeriy Zaluzhny, stated last week that we have already begun World War III. With NATO talking about placing nuclear missiles in Ukraine and President Bidan approving the ATACMs being used by Ukraine, we have stepped ever so close to a nuclear preemptive attack by someone. After Ukraine used those ATACMS the very next day, Russia responded with its new hypersonic missile, Oreshnik.
If these nations are examining the world situation and preparing for war, what are we, the brethren who are supposed to be studying our scriptures, supposed to be doing? You know the Jubilee cycles. You know the prophecies as they were in Noah’s day, which means you know when Satan will be locked away at the end of the Great Tribulation and these ten days/years of judgment. I say this because you all know we are now in those final ten years.
You have read when we warned you about 2020 in the middle of this final Jubilee cycle. You have also read about the abomination being set up 1290 days later and the hostages being set free at the 1335-day mark. You have read these things here at sightedmoon.com. So get ready for war.
Do not let your gas tanks get below half a tank. Keep three months’ supply of food and water on hand in case of anything. Have enough cash on hand to leave in an emergency. Have a physical map and phone number written down in case your iPhone battery dies. Have a plan to rendezvous with your loved ones in place. Have a plan of action ready.
Israel gave those living in the apartments they were going to attack just minutes to get out. Have a bug-out bag, passport, cash, nutribars, change of clothes ready at all times. And Pray you never have to use them. We are fast approaching that time when Yehovah warned us He would remove everyone from their homes but only those who obeyed Him will enter into His land and be safe.
Ezk 20:33As I live, says the Lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, I will reign over you.
Ezk 20:34And I will bring you out from the people, and I will gather you out of the lands in which you are scattered among them, with a mighty hand and with a stretched out arm and with fury poured out.
Ezk 20:35And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
Ezk 20:36Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, says the Lord Jehovah.
Ezk 20:37And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
Ezk 20:38And I will purge out from among you the rebels and those who sin against Me. I will bring them out from the land where they reside, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am Jehovah.
I am also sharing an article about how fake news or Russian propaganda is promoted and distributed and how we all must watch. I then go on to share the results of COP29 this year and expose the real purpose behind these meetings.
Torah Portion
Torah Portions
We read through the entire Torah along with the Prophets and the New Testament, once over the course of 3 1/2 years. Or according to the Sabbatical Cycle which means we read it all twice over a 7-year period. This allows us to cover more in-depth rather than being rushed to cover as much as is covered on an annual basis. We allow all to comment and take part in the discussions.
Septennial Torah Portion
If you go to Torah Portion in our archived section, you can then go to the 1st year, which is the 1st year of the Sabbatical Cycle, the one we are in now, as we state at the top of every Newsletter. There, you can scroll down to the proper date and see that this Shabbat, we could very well be midrashing about:
Genesis 44
2 Samuel 17-18
Psalm 88
Luke 7
We are in the 1st Sabbatical Cycle in 2024-2025. We go through the entire bible twice in a 7 year cycle. This means we cover the entire bible once every 3 1/2 years. It gives us more time to debate and discuss each portion we read.
If you missed last week’s exciting discoveries as we studied that section, you can go and watch past Shabbats on our media section.
Join Our Sabbath Meetings
Join Our Sabbath Meetings
There are many people in need of fellowship and who are sitting at home on the Sabbath with no one to talk to or debate with. I want to encourage all of you to join us on Shabbat, and to invite others to come and join us as well. If the time is not convenient then you can listen to the teaching and the midrash after on our YouTube channel.
What are we doing and why do we teach this way?
We are going to discuss both sides of an issue and then let you choose. It is the work of the Ruach (Spirit) to direct and to teach you.
The medieval commentator Rashi wrote that the Hebrew word for wrestle (avek) implies that Jacob was “tied”, for the same word is used to describe knotted fringes in a Jewish prayer shawl, the tzitzityot. Rashi says, “thus is the manner of two people who struggle to overthrow each other, that one embraces the other and knots him with his arms”.
Our intellectual wrestling has been replaced by a different kind of struggle. We are Wrestling with Yehovah as we grapple with His Word. It is an intimate act, symbolizing a relationship in which Yehovah and I and you are bound together. My wrestling is a struggle to discover what Yehovah expects of us, and we are “tied” to the One who assists us in that struggle.
Today, many say Israel means “Champion of God”, or better — the “Wrestler of God”.
Our Torah sessions each Shabbat teaches you and encourages you to constantly challenge, question, argue against, as well as view alternative views and explanations of the Word. In other words, we are to “wrestle with the Word” to get to the truth. Jews worldwide believe that you need to wrestle with the Word and constantly challenge Dogma, Theology, and views or else you will never get to the Truth.
We are not like most churches where “The preacher talks and everyone listens.” We encourage everyone to participate, to question and to contribute what they know on the subject being discussed. We want you to be a champion wrestler of the Word of Yehovah. We want you to wear the title of Israel, knowing that you not only know but are capable of explaining why you know the Torah to be true with logic and facts.
We have a few rules though. Let others talk and listen. There is no discussion about UFO’s Nephilim, Vaccines or conspiracy-type subjects. We have people from around the world with different world views. Not everyone cares who is the President of any particular country. Treat each other with respect as Fellow wrestlers of the word. Some of our subjects are hard to understand and require you to be mature and if you do not know, then listen to gain knowledge and understanding and hopefully wisdom. The very things you are commanded to ask Yehovah for and He gives to those who ask.
Jas 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.
We hope you can invite those who want to keep Torah to come and join us by hitting the link below. It is almost like a Torah teaching fellowship talk show with people from around the world taking part and sharing their insights and understandings.
We start off with some music and then some prayers and it’s as though you were sitting around the kitchen back in Newfoundland having a cup of coffee and all of us enjoying each other’s company. I hope you will grace us with your company someday.
Sabbath services begin at 12:30 PM EDT where we will be doing prayers songs and teaching from this hour.
Shabbat Services will begin at about 1:15 pm Eastern.
We look forward to you joining our family and getting to know us as we get to know you.

When I wrote Stones Cry Out, I wanted it to be one of our FREE books so everyone would have it. It is more of an encyclopedia than a book to read. It will be your quick resource book; you will have access to every question about any calendar, how it got started, and who started it. You will also learn the history of how the Mishnah was assembled, when it was assembled and why. Then, you will learn how that information was transferred into both the Jerusalem and the Babylonian Talmud until it reached its final stage in the Mishneh Torah. Along with this progression, the calendar also progressed and changed long after 358 C.E. when Rabbi Hillel first published it. But…what was before the Hillel calendar? What does the Mishnah record about those things?
The Stones Cry Out was originally going to be one book explaining all the various proofs we have discovered, demonstrating when the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are throughout history.
You can know; it is not a mystery.
As I began to write The Stones Cry Out, I quickly found myself going back, time and time again, to explain how the calendar is behind the confusion of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Rabbis, as they began to write the Mishnah, incorporated wrong understandings, and those errors were written into what became known as the Talmud and then the Mishneh Torah. The expulsion from the land and subsequent persecutions in trying to send out messengers to report the barley being found or the crescent moon being seen, proved to be more and more dangerous over time. All of these things took place over 14 centuries.
Then as I was working on The Stones Cry Out, I discovered that many people were now accepting the Zadok calendar as factual. This is when we pivoted to include all the details of the various calendars that have crept back into public knowledge today and are being used to mislead new people who are just starting to learn about the calendar. All of this was directly connected to the period starting with the Hasmonaeans, up to the destruction of the Temple. Then, with the compiling of the Mishnah, the studies that led into the writing of the Jerusalem Talmud, then the Babylonian Talmud and finally the Mishneh Torah, each error that was added is compounded over time.
The Stones Cry Out, Part 1 explains the history of how each compilation of the Oral Torah incorporated errors, leading the followers thereof away from the actual Torah. In understanding these facts, it is then possible to understand more readily how the Sabbatical and Jubilee years were then mixed and later changed. By explaining all this history, I will be able to help you the reader understand the tombstones when most authorities do not. They have assumed, to their error, the Hillel calendar to have always been in use since Mount Sinai. Not understanding the history of the calendars is why most authorities dismiss the tombstones as too confusing to use. Once you understand The Stones Cry Out Part 1, Part 2 will be very easy to grasp.
Daniel 7:25 tells us he will change the appointed seasons and commandments. Many assume Constantine did this when he made Sunday the Sabbath. Few have considered the calendar’s many changes and how they relate to us today. Hidden in this proverbial swamp of confusion is the truth about the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Sabbatical and Jubilee years reveal the truths about the calendar that have been hidden for almost 2000 years.
We are in the very last days and Yehshua warned us that during this time:
Mat 24:10And then many will be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.
Mat 24:11And many false prophets will rise and deceive many.
Mat 24:12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will become cold.
Mat 24:13But he who endures to the end, the same shall be kept safe.
Paul also warned Timothy about these last days, warning that some would leave the truth and begin to follow demonic teachers:
1Ti 4:1But the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,
Paul again warned the Thessalonians that the Great Falling away would take place in the last days. How can you fall away if you have never come to know the truth? So who is Paul talking to? Those who are called and answer that calling begin to walk this road of restoration back to Yehovah, and then at some point along that walk, they change and leave this walk following the teachings of demons to false calendar.
2Th 2:1Now we beseech you, my brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,
2Th 2:2that you should not be soon shaken in mind or troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word or letter, as through us, as if the Day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For that Day shall not come unless there first comes a falling away, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition,
2Th 2:4who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself forth, that he is God.
We must endure until the end. We must not let ourselves become offended by personalities and leave the faith once given.

What is the curse of the Sotah woman? How did Yehshua die paying the price of the Sotah woman? What does that have to do with world events today? How is Climate Change connected to the curse of the Sotah woman?
The 10 Days of Awe describes the final ten years of judgment in this final 120th Jubilee Cycle of this 6th millennium (2024-2033). The extreme heat domes around the earth, droughts, floods, cyclones, typhoons, earthquakes, and wars are all explained once you understand the cup the Sotah woman must drink, having been suspected of adultery. It is not, and never was climate change or global warming.
When the curses of this temple ritual are implemented, the 10 plagues of Egypt in these last days come to life. Once you understand that the 10 gods that Yehovah attacked in the Exodus are the same ones He is attacking today, but with different names, then world events take on a whole new understanding.
Joseph Dumond’s uncanny ability to understand the Jubilee Cycles of Leviticus 25, along with his understanding of the Holy Days of Leviticus 23 and a huge blessing from Yehovah, revealing these truths to him, has enabled him to correctly predict the middle of the week of the Daniel 9 prophecy. That middle of the week was the year 2020. He has been the only voice warning about 2020 since 2005. You can read about this warning in his other books, The Prophecies of Abraham, Remembering the Sabbatical Year of 2016 and The 2300 Days of Hell.
Dumond began to warn about the next big event, the Abomination That Makes Desolate, which only Joseph Dumond warned was coming in the fall of 2023. He even went to Jerusalem to watch it being built and warned his readers as it progressed. No one else has done this.
The Elijah Trilogy consists of The Restoration of All Things, The Abomination That Makes Desolate, and this book The 10 Days of Awe.
The 10 Days of Awe is going to stun you with historical facts that will upset you with your religious upbringing, but once those facts are seen, they cannot be unseen. The world is going to suffer from famine on a worldwide scale, unlike anything ever seen before. Read this book as fast as you can and share it with others. Time has run out. The Abomination has now been revealed, the 7 Trumpets have begun to sound after which the 7 vials will be sounded out. This truly magnificent and God-inspired book explains where we go, when and who is about to be slaughtered. You do not have time to waste. Order it now and begin to read it the moment it arrives.
New Moon Day
New Moon Day
We are approaching the next New Moon, which is expected to be sighted on Monday evening, December 2nd. It will be the 30th day of the month.
In the next two pictures, you can see what the Torah calendar shows for the day before the moon will be sighted from Jerusalem. It is right on the cusp of not being seen or maybe being seen. This is why we will need at least two witnesses to search for the moon on Monday evening.
Can you prove from your Bible which method you are to use to keep Yehovah’s Holy Days? Do you go by the crescent moon or the Hillel calendar created in 358 C.E.? this is the question each and every believer must determine. Once you have proven this then there will never be any doubts. So have you proven which way you are to use in order to determine the Holy Days?
We are always accused of setting dates when we explain the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. People say this because of what Yehshua said
Mat 24:36But of that day and hour no one knows, no, not the angels of Heaven, but only My Father.
Mat 24:37But as the days of Noah were, so shall be the coming of the Son of Man.
Last week we showed you what was meant by as it was in the days of Noah, Lot and Joseph. And you now know what that means for us today. So we know the year and the Sabbatical cycle. The day and hour are determined by the start of the month.
If you want to know how to prove which calendar you are to us then I cannot urge you strong enough to get our book and read It Was A Riddle Not A Command. Just click on the link to learn more.
You do not want to be told I never knew you by our King. Get the book and start to learn these Bibilcal truths today. Order a copy for your loved one, your Bible study groups and you Pastors.
Prepare for War
Nordic neighbours release new advice on surviving war
Alex Maxia
In Gothenburg, Sweden
TT News Agency/AFP
The new version of Sweden’s pamphlet “In case of crisis or war” will reach letterboxes from Monday
On Monday, millions of Swedes will start receiving copies of a pamphlet advising the population how to prepare and cope in the event of war or another unexpected crisis.
During the summer, Denmark’s emergency management agency said it was emailing Danish adults details on the water, food and medicine they would need to get through a crisis for three days.
In a detailed section on military conflict, the Finnish digital brochure explains how the government and president would respond in the event of an armed attack, stressing that Finland’s authorities are “well prepared for self defence”.
Sweden joined Nato only this year, deciding like Finland to apply after Moscow expanded its war in 2022. Norway was a founder member of the Western defensive alliance.
Unlike Sweden and Norway, the Helsinki government has decided not to print a copy for every home as it “would cost millions” and a digital version could be updated more easily.
“We have sent out 2.2 million paper copies, one for each household in Norway,” said Tore Kamfjord, who is responsible for the campaign of self-preparedness at the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection (DSB).
sikkerhverdag.no
Norway’s checklist includes longlife food and medicines including iodine tablets
Included in the lists of items to be kept at home are long-life foods such as tins of beans, energy bars and pasta, and medicines including iodine tablets in case of a nuclear accident.
Oslo sent out an earlier version in 2018, but Kamfjord said climate change and more extreme weather events such as floods and landslides had brought increased risks.
For Swedes, the idea of a civil emergency booklet is nothing new. The first edition of “If War Comes” was produced during World War Two and it was updated during the Cold War.
But one message has been moved up from the middle of the booklet: “If Sweden is attacked by another country, we will never give up. All information to the effect that resistance is to cease is false.”
It was not long ago that Finland and Sweden were still neutral states, although their infrastructure and “total defence system” date back to the Cold War.

Carl-Oskar Bohlin presented the pamphlet last month
Sweden’s Civil Defence Minister Carl-Oskar Bohlin said last month that as the global context had changed, information to Swedish households had to reflect the changes too.
Earlier this year he warned that “there could be war in Sweden”, although that was seen as a wake-up call because he felt that moves towards rebuilding that “total defence” were progressing too slowly.
Because of its long border with Russia and its experience of war with the Soviet Union in World War Two, Finland has always maintained a high level of defence. Sweden, however, scaled down its infrastructure and only in recent years started gearing up again.
“From the Finnish perspective, this is a bit strange,” according to Ilmari Kaihko, associate professor of war studies at the Swedish Defence University. “[Finland] never forgot that war is a possibility, whereas in Sweden, people had to be shaken up a bit to understand that this can actually happen,” says Kaihko, who’s from Finland.
Melissa Eve Ajosmaki, 24, who is originally from Finland but studies in Gothenburg, says she felt more worried when the war broke out in Ukraine. “Now I feel less worried but I still have the thought at the back of my head on what I should do if there was a war. Especially as I have my family back in Finland.”
The guides include instructions on what to do in case of several scenarios and ask citizens to make sure they can fend for themselves, at least initially, in case of a crisis situation.
Finns are asked how they would cope without power for days on end with winter temperatures as low as -20C.
Their checklist also includes iodine tablets, as well as easy-to-cook food, pet food and a backup power supply.
The Swedish checklist recommends potatoes, cabbage, carrots and eggs along with tins of bolognese sauce and prepared blueberry and rosehip soup.
Swedish Economist Ingemar Gustafsson, 67, recalls receiving previous versions of the pamphlet: “I’m not that worried about the whole thing so I take it pretty calmly. It’s good that we get information about how we should act and how we should prepare, but it’s not like I have all those preparations at home”.
One of the most important recommendations is to keep enough food and drinking water for 72 hours.
But Ilmari Kaihko wonders whether that is practical for everyone.

NATO Official Prepare for War
Top NATO official calls on business leaders to prepare for ‘wartime scenario’
By Reuters
NATO Military Committee Chief Admiral Rob Bauer listens to the media as Latvia celebrates the anniversary of joining the alliance in Riga, Latvia March 28, 2024. REUTERS/Ints Kalnins/File Photo Purchase Licensing Rights, opens new tab
BRUSSELS, Nov 25 (Reuters) – A top NATO military official on Monday urged businesses to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly, in order to be less vulnerable to blackmail from countries such as Russia and China.
“If we can make sure that all crucial services and goods can be delivered no matter what, then that is a key part of our deterrence,” the chair of NATO’s military committee, Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer, said in Brussels.
Speaking at an event of the European Policy Centre think tank, he described deterrence as going far beyond military capability alone, since all available instruments could and would be used in war.
“We’re seeing that with the growing number of sabotage acts, and Europe has seen that with energy supply,” Bauer said.
“We thought we had a deal with Gazprom, but we actually had a deal with Mr Putin. And the same goes for Chinese-owned infrastructure and goods. We actually have a deal with (Chinese President) Xi (Jinping).”
Bauer noted western dependencies on supplies from China, with 60% of all rare earth materials produced and 90% processed there. He said chemical ingredients for sedatives, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and low blood pressure medicines were also coming from China.
“We are naive if we think the Communist Party will never use that power. Business leaders in Europe and America need to realise that the commercial decisions they make have strategic consequences for the security of their nation,” Bauer stressed.
“Businesses need to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly. Because while it may be the military who wins battles, it’s the economies that win wars.”
Germany Expects War Within Five Years
‘Would you survive 72 hours?’
Germany and the Nordic countries prepare citizens for possible war
Apps and booklets are offering advice on how to build a bunker, stockpile food and live without electricity in case the worst happens
If the prospect of a broader conflict in Europe seems remote for many, some countries at least are taking it seriously – and, in the term used by Germany’s defence minister, Boris Pistorius, taking steps to get populations kriegstüchtig: war-capable.
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has dramatically raised security tensions across the Baltic region, prompting Finland and Sweden to abandon decades of nonalignment and join Nato. Military capability, however, is not all: citizens have to be braced too.
“We live in uncertain times. Armed conflicts are currently being waged in our corner of the world. Terrorism, cyber-attacks, and disinformation campaigns are being used to undermine and influence us,” the Swedish pamphlet’s prologue says.
Also available in English, it adds that collective resilience is essential and if Sweden is attacked, “everyone must do their part to defend Sweden’s independence – and our democracy … you are part of Sweden’s overall emergency preparedness”.
A page from the English language version of the Swedish government pamphlet on preparedness for war.
Swedes have long been familiar with such public information pamphlets: the first was issued in the second world war. The latest advises on, among other topics, warning systems, air raid shelters, digital security and how to use the toilet if there is no water.
It also recommends keeping a good supply of water at home (and checking annually to see if it is still safe); having plenty of blankets, warm clothes and alternative heating; getting a battery-powered radio; and storing plenty of energy-rich, quick-to-prepare food.
Reaction among Swedish residents has been mixed. Johnny Chamoun, 36, a hairdresser in Solna, near Stockholm, said it was “good to be prepared”. But, he said, while the brochure was a good idea, it had not been much of a talking point.
“In the salon I’ve not heard many people talk about it. Just one said they had got it,” he said. “They’re not stressing or anything.” But Muna Ayan, a healthcare worker from Stockholm, was concerned by how unconcerned many Swedes were.
Having experienced conflict firsthand in Somalia, Ayan said she was frightened. “I am scared because I know what war means – I have survived war,” she said, adding that she had stocked up on water, battery lights, candles and Vaseline.
She was also trying to work out how to tell her five children without scaring them. For people from Somalia, Syria or Iraq, talk of conflict in Sweden was traumatic, she said.
“We who have been in war, we are not well. We are very worried, because if there is war we know what will happen. In war we have lost relatives, some children will disappear.”

And Fatuma Mohamed, a health communicator in Stockholm, said many families in poorer areas did not have food for everyday life, let alone for stockpiling, while others were trying to find out where their local shelters were.
She said she would like to see more information provided to people in person, rather than just in a brochure.
Norway’s directorate for civil protection, DSB, has distributed a similar booklet to the country’s 2.6 million households. “We live in an increasingly turbulent world,” it says, affected by climate change, digital threats and “in the worst case, acts of war”.
The Norwegian pamphlet advises people, for example, to hold at least a week’s worth of non-perishable food including “crispbreads, canned pulses and beans, canned sandwich spreads, energy bars, dried fruit, chocolate, honey, biscuits and nuts”.
Norway also advises residents to stock up on essential medicines – including iodine tablets, in case of a nuclear incident – and, like Sweden, recommends that people have several bank cards and keep a ready supply of cash at home.
In Finland, an exhaustive online guide called Preparing for incidents and crises offers residents information and advice on anything from water outages to wildfires, the collapse of the internet or “longer-term crises … such as military conflict”.
More practically, on a separate website, 72tuntia.fi, Finland – which shares an 830-mile (1,340km) border with Russia – asks its citizens bluntly: “Would you survive 72 hours?” in a range of crisis situations, inviting them to put both their skills and their supplies through a series of tests.
The site has tips on strengthening psychological resilience “to increase your ability to cope in difficult circumstances”, improving personal cybersecurity and sheltering indoors (“Seal doors and windows. Turn on the radio. Wait calmly for instructions.”)
Suvi Aksela of the women’s national emergency preparedness association (Nasta), who is on the 72hours expert committee, said it had considered raising Finland’s food storage recommendation to a full week of supplies, as Sweden and Norway had done.
But in the end, the committee decided against it because the 72hours messaging was so well-established in Finland, she said. “The 72 hours has become a brand here in Finland, so we didn’t want to break that. But that is just the minimum.”

Russia’s war on Ukraine had been a “wake-up call” even in a country that had long been prepared, she said: women had signed up for preparedness courses, battery radios had flown off the shelves, and questions like “how much water do you have at home?” or “do you have a camp stove?” had become “more mainstream”.
Germany’s focus, meanwhile, is on ramping up the number of its bunkers and protective shelters after an official estimate that the nation of 84 million has fewer than 600 public shelters, together capable of holding just 480,000 people.
Many cold war shelters have been dismantled owing to the belief they would no longer be needed, but Berlin has now launched a national bunker plan under the Federal Office for Population Protection, including a geolocation phone app.
Experts predict an attack by Russia may be a possibility within the next five years and the search is now on for any structure that could be used if such an event occurred, including metro stations and basements of public offices, schools and town halls.
German households have been urged to adapt their own cellars, garages or store rooms, or excavate old bunkers, while housebuilders will be legally obliged to include safe shelters in new homes – as Poland has already done.
The Frankfurter Allgemeiner newspaper this month revealed details of a 1,000-page army document aimed at German businesses – advising them, for example, to train extra lorry drivers – but containing civil preparedness recommendations for individuals.

‘World War 3 has already begun’ according to chilling warning from Ukrainian ambassador
Ukraine’s ambassador to London, Valeriy Zaluzhny, said Kim Jong Un troops, believed to be around 10,000, are engaged against forces in Russia’s Kursk region
Ukrainian ambassador to the UK, Valerii Zaluzhnyi (
Ukraine’s ambassador has chillingly warned “World War Three has already begun” – and admitted only the West can save itself by backing Kyiv.
That is the warning from Valeriy Zaluzhny, 51, who commanded Ukrainian troops when they halted Vladimir Putin’s army as it intended to storm Kyiv in three days. He is now Ukraine’s ambassador to London. “I believe that in 2024 we can absolutely definitely consider that the Third World War has begun,” he said in a speech to a Ukrainian Pravda awards ceremony.

Kim Jong Un troops numbering some 10,000-pls are believed to be engaged against Ukraine’s forces in Russia’s Kursk region. “Chinese shells are detonated in Ukraine. Chinese parts are used in Russian missiles.” Most military experts believe WW3 has started, said Zaluzhny. “What has been expected for so long, it has already begun,” he said. “But I want to say that God himself gives a chance, not only to Ukraine, but also to the whole world, so that now we still have time to reach the right conclusions.
“Everything can still be stopped here, on the territory of Ukraine. But for some reason our [Western] partners do not want to understand this. It is obvious that Ukraine already has too many enemies. Ukraine will survive at the expense of technology, but it is unknown whether it will be able to win this battle on its own.”

After Ukraine used the Atacms on Russia, Russia struck back with Russia’s new hypersonic missile, Oreshnik, launched on November 21, targeting Ukraine.
President Putin claims it travels at ten times the speed of sound, making it nearly impossible to intercept.
Fake News or Truth?
Fake News or Truth?
I was hearing about NATO discussing preemptive strikes, and they quoted the head of the NATO Military Committee, Rob Bauer. I had reported about Rob Bauer from aReuters report above. I am sharing these stories so you the Brethren are aware of how the world see these events and what they are doing. You do need to get ready and prepare, because of Jubilee cycles show you we are getting very close.
Then, as I went to post this article about preemptive strikes, two red flags went off. No reputable news sources reported it, and the two articles I went to quote both gave me Russian information in the links. I have posted the one article below. So, is this a true story or a fake news story sent out to justify Russian responses?
Be careful of whom you repeat. This time I caught the misinformation before hand. Other times I too have been deceived.
NATO is discussing the possibility of preemptive strikes against Russia — Bauer

NATO is discussing the possibility of preemptive precision strikes on the territory of Russia in the event of an armed conflict with the alliance countries. This was stated at a conference in Brussels by the head of the Military Committee of the bloc, Admiral Rob Bauer.
He called positive the fact that NATO has changed its attitude to the essence of the organization as a defense alliance, as well as the perception that it is necessary to “sit and wait for us to be attacked” and only then react.
“It is more competent not to wait, but to hit launchers in Russia in case Russia attacks us. A combination of precision strikes is needed that will disable the systems that are used to attack us, and we must strike first,” Bauer said, quoted by Bloomberg.
As reported by EADaily, the probability of a Russian attack on one of the NATO countries, including Poland or the Baltic states, is estimated to be low. This was stated in an interview with PAP by the head of the alliance’s Military Committee, Rob Bauer.
You might wonder why I pay so much attention to COP29 and all the other COPs from years past. Let me first share with you the statement at the conclusion of this year’s COP29.
“This new finance goal is an insurance policy for humanity”: Simon Stiell at close of COP29
UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell highlighted that the new finance goal agreed at the UN Climate Conference in Baku is an insurance policy for humanity.
“This deal will keep the clean energy boom growing and protect billions of lives. It will help all countries to share in the huge benefits of bold climate action: more jobs, stronger growth, cheaper and cleaner energy for all. But like any insurance policy – it only works – if the premiums are paid in full, and on time.”
He acknowledged that no country got everything they wanted, and that the world leaves Baku with a mountain of work to do. “So this is no time for victory laps. We need to set our sights and redouble our efforts on the road to Belém.”
COP29 UN Climate Conference Agrees to Triple Finance to Developing Countries, Protecting Lives and Livelihoods
The UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) closed today with a new finance goal to help countries to protect their people and economies against climate disasters, and share in the vast benefits of the clean energy boom. With a central focus on climate finance, COP29 brought together nearly 200 countries in Baku, Azerbaijan, and reached a breakthrough agreement that will:
Triple finance to developing countries, from the previous goal of USD 100 billion annually, to USD 300 billion annually by 2035.
Secure efforts of all actors to work together to scale up finance to developing countries, from public and private sources, to the amount of USD 1.3 trillion per year by 2035.
Known formally as the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQG), it was agreed after two weeks of intensive negotiations and several years of preparatory work, in a process that requires all nations to unanimously agree on every word of the agreement.

The following Newsletter and report video, which I made in 2021, addressed the COP26 reports and the IPCC report produced in that year.
News Letter 5857-030 September 25, 2021
As many of you noticed, I did not send out a newsletter last week. After Sabbath the week before, I began working on my latest video addressing the UN IPCC report on climate change and global warming. I worked on it each day from about 9 AM until 2 or 3 AM each night. Once I was finished, I had to go back and edit it, splice in this or that, and remove other things. It was very time-consuming, and it required my full attention to get it done.
Last Sabbath we then shared the video for its debut and discussed it for a short while before I had to leave early for another commitment. In the video, we walk you through the history of the UNEP since its founding in 1972 and show you the major events that propelled the progress of this movement.
We shared with you the founding principle of human rights as the cornerstone of the 26 guiding principles it has adopted. I also question why the blue whale or the polar bear needed human rights. But I also have shown you how this 1st principle is key to the UNEP and how it lies there sleeping until it was utilized in 2011 when the LGBT rights were merged with the UN’s human rights and the UNEP’s 1st principle on human rights. This is when this “covenant made with many” became anti-Yehovah in all respects.
As we go through this history we also show you how the ozone was used to whip up support and then 32 years later still has not been fixed. I also show you how global warming has not been abated one little bit and is projected to climb by 2.7 C each year. in 2022 the UNEP will be celebrating its Jubilee. I show the viewer that the book of Revelation shows us it is going to get hotter and the extreme weather events will become more severe.
We have discussed this in our book The 2300 Days of Hell which we wrote way back in 2013. We also did a 2 part video on this back in 2013. You can watch both of them here.
I cannot stress enough for all of you to watch our video that we did back in 2013. Man, it scares me today now in 2021 that the things I was warning you about then are now happening. Many will watch part one but will not watch part two. Part two below is the one with all the punch. You need to watch it. You need to understand what is happening all around you so that you can understand what Yehovah is doing.
The 76th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 76) opened on Tuesday, 14 September 2021. On that day, Abdulla Shahid of the Maldives was sworn in as the General Assembly President and he opened the 76th session.
The COP29 fiasco is disgusting in its blatant openness about precisely what is is striving to achieve. When I was in the Philippines in 2022, the political leadership I spoke with was excited about the potential 80 million US dollars that was on the table for them to get hold of. At that time there was also another trillion dollars of potential funding to be had. They were trying to find a way in which my message about the curses of Yehovah could be used to gain a portion of these fund into their coffers.
Here at COP29, once again, the poorer nations of the world are upset and walking out in protest because the amount of money set aside for them was $100 billion annually and is now $300 billion annually after renegotiation’s. Because of this increase, the COP29 representatives are now rejoicing. And where is this $300 billion annually going to come from? The Western developed nations. However, one powerful nation, China, refuses to be classified as a developed nation. No, they, one of the three superpowers, want to remain classified as a developing nation and would not be required to pay this 1.3 trillion a year by 2035. No, that task, that $1.3 T bill is left to the USA and the EU nations.
The UN, the COP discussions, and IPCC reports, along with the Paris Accord, which all nations of the world have signed on and agreed to, are designed to take money from the Western nations and redistribute it to the poorer countries of the world under the guise of climate change insurance or compensation for damage done to a nation because of Global Warming, caused by the industrialization and success of those said western nations who have gotten wealthy and caused the climate change in the first place. This is a bogus twisting of the truth.
Not one nation has turned back to obeying Yehovah because they all agreed to the terms of the Paris Accord in the fall of 2015. In that 2015 accord, they all agreed to the institution and support of LGBT rights in their human rights changes from the 2011 agreement.
The Paris Accord is the covenant made with many spoken of in Daniel 24:27, Which is why I pay so much attention to it. What the world is calling Climate Change or Global Warming and destroying cities and economies around the world are in fact the judgments or curses of Yehovah upon the nations of this world. Yet no one wants to state this as it would mean they must recognize Yehovah’s power and authority.
Here is the full report:
UN Climate Change News, 24 November 2024 – The UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) closed today with a new finance goal to help countries to protect their people and economies against climate disasters, and share in the vast benefits of the clean energy boom.
With a central focus on climate finance, COP29 brought together nearly 200 countries in Baku, Azerbaijan, and reached a breakthrough agreement that will:
Triple finance to developing countries, from the previous goal of USD 100 billion annually, to USD 300 billion annually by 2035.
Secure efforts of all actors to work together to scale up finance to developing countries, from public and private sources, to the amount of USD 1.3 trillion per year by 2035.
Known formally as the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQG), it was agreed after two weeks of intensive negotiations and several years of preparatory work, in a process that requires all nations to unanimously agree on every word of the agreement.
“This new finance goal is an insurance policy for humanity, amid worsening climate impacts hitting every country,” said Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of UN Climate Change. “But like any insurance policy – it only works – if premiums are paid in full, and on time. Promises must be kept, to protect billions of lives.”
“It will keep the clean energy boom growing, helping all countries to share in its huge benefits: more jobs, stronger growth, cheaper and cleaner energy for all.”
The International Energy Agency expects global clean energy investment to exceed USD 2 trillion for the first time in 2024.
The new finance goal at COP29 builds on significant strides forward on global climate action at COP27, which agreed an historic Loss and Damage Fund, and COP28, which delivered a global agreement to transition away from all fossil fuels in energy systems swiftly and fairly, triple renewable energy and boost climate resilience.
COP29 also reached agreement on carbon markets – which several previous COPs had not been able to achieve. These agreements will help countries deliver their climate plans more quickly and cheaply, and make faster progress in halving global emissions this decade, as required by science.
Important agreements were also reached on transparent climate reporting and adaptation as summarized below.
Stiell also acknowledged that the agreement reached in Baku did not meet all Parties’ expectations, and substantially more work is still needed next year on several crucial issues.
“No country got everything they wanted, and we leave Baku with a mountain of work to do,” said Stiell. “The many other issues we need to progress may not be headlines but they are lifelines for billions of people. So this is no time for victory laps, we need to set our sights and redouble our efforts on the road to Belem.”
The finance agreement at COP29 comes as stronger national climate plans (Nationally Determined Contributions, or NDCs) become due from all countries next year. These new climate plans must cover all greenhouse gases and all sectors, to keep the 1.5°C warming limit within reach. COP29 saw two G20 countries – the UK and Brazil – signal clearly that they plan to ramp up climate action in their NDCs 3.0, because they are entirely in the interests of their economies and peoples.
“We still have a very long road ahead, but here in Baku we took another important step forward,” said Stiell. “The UN Paris Agreement is humanity’s life-raft; there is nothing else. So here in Baku and all of the countries represented in this room we’re taking that journey forward together.”
A brief summary of other key achievements at COP29 follows below.
Article 6 of the Paris Agreement
A notable achievement during the past two weeks was the progress made on carbon markets. After nearly a decade of work, countries have agreed on the final building blocks that set out how carbon markets will operate under the Paris Agreement, making country-to-country trading and a carbon crediting mechanism fully operational.
On country-to-country trading (Article 6.2), the decision out of COP29 provides clarity on how countries will authorize the trade of carbon credits and how registries tracking this will operate. And there is now reassurance that environmental integrity will be ensured up front through technical reviews in a transparent process.
On day one of COP29, countries agreed standards for a centralized carbon market under the UN (Article 6.4 mechanism). This is good news for developing countries, who will benefit from new flows of finance. And it is particularly good news for least developed countries, who will get the capacity-building support they need to get a foothold in the market.
This mechanism, known as the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism, is underpinned by mandatory checks for projects against strong environmental and human rights protections, including safeguards that ensure a project can’t go ahead without explicit, informed agreement from Indigenous Peoples. It also allows anyone affected by a project to appeal a decision or file a complaint.
Under the text agreed on Article 6.4, there is a clear mandate for the UN carbon market to align with science. It tasks the Body getting this market up and running to consider the best available science across all work going forward.
The work on carbon markets doesn’t stop in Baku. The Supervisory Body setting up the new carbon crediting mechanism has been handed a long 2025 to-do list by Parties and will continue to be accountable to them.
Transparency
Transparent climate reporting made big strides forward in Baku, building a stronger evidence base to strengthen climate policies over time, and helping to identify financing needs and opportunities. To date, 13 Parties have now submitted their first Biennial Transparency Reports (BTR) – due from all Parties by the end of the year. Andorra, Azerbaijan, the European Union, Germany, Guyana, Japan, Kazakhstan, Maldives, Netherlands, Panama, Singapore, Spain, and Türkiye have led the way on transparent climate reporting, and set an example for others to follow. The list of received BTRs is continuously being updated here.
In addition, all transparency negotiating items concluded successfully at COP29, with Parties expressing their appreciation for the timely completion of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) reporting tools, the technical trainings, the support provided to developing countries for reporting under the ETF that took place in 2024, and the successful launch of the review process.
A total of 42 events were organized under #Together4Transparency, a UNFCCC collaborative initiative that promotes climate transparency with Parties and non-Party stakeholders. These events emphasized the vital role of transparency in preparing NDCs and net-zero pathways, as well as in recognizing climate action from non-Party stakeholders. Events included high-level sessions, mandated events and training sessions to prepare countries for their BTRs, as well as to equip technical experts for the upcoming review process.
The critical role of REDD+ was recognized through a £3 million pledge by the UK International Forest Unit to support UN Climate Change’s work over four years. This funding will bolster REDD+ activities in many countries, enabling the secretariat to create dedicated spaces for REDD+ experts to engage in technical dialogue. These efforts are expected to enhance the transparency and implementation of REDD+, in line with the Global Stocktake objective to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030.
Adaptation
COP29 was an important moment for adaptation, with the delivery of several key outcomes. The COP decision on matters relating to the least developed countries (LDCs) contains a provision for the establishment of a support programme for the implementation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) for the LDCs. Parties extensively discussed the second five-year assessment of progress to formulate and implement NAPs, and will continue that in June 2025.
A High-Level Dialogue on National Adaptation Plans convened ministers from least developed countries and small island developing States, financial experts and international donors to address the growing urgency of climate adaptation. Their discussions focused on innovative financing, technical support, and accelerated action to meet the 2025 submission deadline for NAPs. The event concluded with a strong call to action to expedite NAPs and translate plans into tangible outcomes.
The outcome on the global goal on adaptation sets a clear path forward on the road to COP30 for the indicators work programme, providing a process for experts to continue their technical work before passing the baton to Parties. COP29 also launched the Baku Adaptation Road Map and Baku high-level dialogue on adaptation to enhance the implementation of the UAE Framework. Finally, the outcome raises ambition by agreeing to continue unpacking transformational adaptation moving forward.
COP29 took a decisive step forward to elevate the voices of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in climate action, adopting the Baku Workplan and renewing the mandate of the Facilitative Working Group (FWG) of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform (LCIPP). The adopted decision acknowledges the progress made by the FWG in fostering collaboration among Parties, Indigenous Peoples and local communities, and underscores the leadership of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in addressing the climate crisis.
Gender and climate change
Countries agreed a decision on gender and climate change, extending the enhanced Lima Work Programme on Gender and Climate Change for another 10 years, reaffirming the importance of gender equality and advancing gender mainstreaming throughout the convention.
They also agreed to develop a new gender action plan for adoption at COP30, which will set the direction for concrete implementation.
Civil society participation, children and youth
World leaders at COP29 were joined by civil society, subnationals, business, Indigenous Peoples, youth, philanthropy, and international organizations. More than 55,000 people attended COP29 to share ideas, solutions, and build partnerships and coalitions.
The decisions taken at COP29 also reemphasize the critical importance of empowering all stakeholders to engage in climate action; in particular under Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE). Parties recalled the importance of integrating ACE elements into national climate change policies, plans, strategies and action, and noted the secretariat’s compendium of good practices for integrating ACE elements into NDCs.
COP29 marked a significant milestone as dedicated spaces were created to ensure the meaningful participation of children within the Youth-led Climate Forum for the first time. Four children, including the youngest at just 10 years old, took on roles as moderators and speakers, engaging directly with Parties and observer organizations.Their participation highlighted the importance of inclusivity and intergenerational collaboration in driving climate action.
In parallel with the formal negotiations, the Global Climate Action space at COP29 provided a platform for governments, businesses and civil society to collaborate and showcase their real-world climate solutions. An overview and summary of these can be found here.
The High-Level Champions, under the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action, launched their 2024 Yearbook of Global Climate Action at COP29, showing that climate action by non-Party stakeholders, including businesses, investors, sub-national actors and civil society, is driving progress towards the goals of the Paris Agreement, and that their engagement is more crucial than ever.

There has been some disturbing news sent to me this week from Brethren and I think they are setting themselves up to serve Abaddon and not know it. Let me review with you what we have shared about this in the past two newsletters.
I have written about the 10 gods of Egypt and how Yehovah was going to bring the curses or plagues of Egypt upon us in the last days.
Deu 28:58If you will not observe to do all the words of this Law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH YOUR GOD,
Deu 28:59then Jehovah will make your plagues remarkable, and the plagues of your seed great and persistent plagues; with evil and long-lasting sicknesses.
Deu 28:60Also, He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid. And they shall cling to you.
Deu 28:61Also, every sickness and every plague which is not written in the book of this Law, Jehovah will bring them on you until you are destroyed.
Deu 28:62And you shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of the heavens for multitude, because you would not obey the voice of Jehovah your God.
We explained this in our recent book, The 10 Days of Awe. We have also been showing you since 2005 that those final 10 days of Awe would be 10 Years of final judgment, as it was in the days of Noah and Lot. In both the days of Noah and Lot, the end of the 10 days or 10 years of judgment came on the 3rd and 4th year of the 6th Sabbatical cycle.
I have shown you how the fall Holy Days, when laid out as years in one Jubilee cycle, or this 120th Jubilee cycle we live in right now, would look like the following. The 8th Day, Shemini Atzeret, matches the Jubilee year of 2045. The 7 days of Sukkot line up or match the years 2044 (the last Great Day) to 2038 (the first day of the 7 days of Sukkot. Then, the Day of Atonement lines up or matches the year 2033 with Shabbat Shuva, the Shabbat of return as 2030 and the start of the 10 days of Awe, the start of the final 10 years of judgment began in 2024. And it would seem that the judgment begins 6 months before the year it is supposed to fall in. We are still watching.
We have also said that these 10 years of judgment align with the seven trumpet plagues followed by the seven last bowls, all of which, are laid out over these 10 years. We have also stated that the first seven seals with the four horsemen describe Islam’s white, red, green, and black flags, which have been in place since 622 C.E.
If you have not read the 10 Days of Awe, then I highly encourage you to do so as quickly as possible.
In the 10 Days of Awe, we explain the god Hapi, also known Apis the bull who is one of the mains gods of Egypt.
Judgment comes first to those who believe they know who Yehovah is but serve other elohim disguised as conspiracy knowledge, which is nothing more than a bunch of lies.
Mat 24:24For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders; so much so that, if it were possible, they would deceive even the elect.
Looking at the charts above you can see that all the major judgments ended in the 3rd and 4th years of the 6th Sabbatical cycles. That is 2033 in our current Jubilee cycle. Unless those days were cut short no flesh would be saved. 2033 is 12 years short of 2045 the end of this Jubilee cycle and the 6th millennial day.
So 2033 is the end of the Great Tribulation which began 3 1/2 years before that, at Passover 2030. Passover 2030 is when the Beast power kills the Two Witnesses after they stop the rain for 3 1/2 years starting in 2026. We are about to begin 2025 so the time is very close.
Read again what Paul says would come first to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Yes, even you and I. It is possible.
The Man of Lawlessness
2Th 2:1Now we beseech you, my brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,
2Th 2:2that you should not be soon shaken in mind or troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word or letter, as through us, as if the Day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For that Day shall not come unless there first comes a falling away, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition,
2Th 2:4who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself forth, that he is God.
2Th 2:5Do you not remember that I told you these things when I was still with you?
2Th 2:6And now you know what holds back, for him to be revealed in his own time.
2Th 2:7For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only he is now holding back until it comes out of the midst.
2Th 2:8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the breath of His mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming,
2Th 2:9whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10and with all deceit of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, so that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie,
2Th 2:12so that all those who do not believe the truth, but delight in unrighteousness, might be condemned.
Stand Firm
2Th 2:13But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brothers beloved of the Lord, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth,
2Th 2:14to which He called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Th 2:15Therefore, my brothers, stand fast and hold the teachings which you have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.
2Th 2:16Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, who has loved us and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
2Th 2:17comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.
You can not fall away unless first you come to know the truth, the Torah. And again, Paul warns us in 1 Timothy:
1Ti 4:1But the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,
1Ti 4:2speaking lies in hypocrisy, being seared in their own conscience,
1Ti 4:3forbidding to marry, saying to abstain from foods which God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
To this understanding, we must now look at the 5th Trumpet plague in Revelation. Using the 10 Days of Awe as our basis of understanding and knowing that all end-time prophecies must be completed by 2033, when Satan will be locked away, it is our position that this 5th curse, this 5th Trumpet plague, comes in the 5th year of the 10 Years of Awe, that is 2028.
Rev 9:1And the fifth angel sounded. And I saw a star fall from the heaven to the earth, and it was given the key of the abyss.
Rev 9:2And it opened the bottomless pit. And there arose a smoke out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit.
Rev 9:3And out of the smoke came forth locusts onto the earth. And authority was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have authority.
Rev 9:4And they were commanded not to hurt the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads.
Rev 9:5And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months. And their torment was like a scorpion’s torment when he stings a man.
Rev 9:6And in those days men will seek death and will not find it. And they will long to die, and death will flee from them.
Rev 9:7And the shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for battle. And on their heads were as it werecrowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.
Rev 9:8And they had hairs like the hairs of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
Rev 9:9And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron. And the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
Rev 9:10And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. And their authority was to hurt men five months.
Rev 9:11And they had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in Greek his name is Apollyon.
Why is this so important to understand? I have said much of this now three times in the past three newsletters. Again, why is it so important? I was sent some emails this week about Michael Rood’s Chronological Gospels. Whether you believe them or not is not the issue. And I am not attacking Michael, but other teachers are using a similar metric for their teachings on prophecy. It goes like this.
Jesus began his work in 28 C.E. and died in either 28, 30, 31, or 32 C.E., depending on which theology you subscribe to. They may or may not use the passage in Hosea about clapping three times and combine that with Peter’s declaration that a thousand years is a day to Yehovah. They then conclude that 2000 years after 28, 30, 31, or 32, C.E. is the year 2028, 2030, 2031, or 2032 and they are looking for the Messiah in those years and at that time.
Mat 24:24For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders; so much so that, if it were possible, they would deceive even the elect.
Some brethren are expecting the Messiah in 2028, the year we are looking for the Abbadon or Apollyon to rise up on the world scene. Paul said the anti-Christ must come first. Will the world use this misunderstanding to then claim the Two Witnesses are the antichrist that came before the False Messiah of Apollyon?
How will you know?
This person is going to have to look like and sound like what most people imagine as the Messiah.
Isa 14:13For you have said in your heart, I will go up to the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north.
Isa 14:14I will go up above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.
A primary particle; “off”, that is, away (from something near), in various senses (of place, time, or relation; literally or figuratively): – (X here-) after, ago, at, because of, before, by (the space of), for (-th), from, in, (out) of, off, (up-) on (-ce), since, with. In composition (as a prefix) it usually denotes separation, departure, cessation, completion, reversal, etc.
From ὄλλυμιollumi a primary word (to destroy; a prolonged form); ruin, that is, death, punishment: – destruction.
This plague is to last 5 months like the flood last five months. This plague comes from the bottomless pit. A pit is like an empty cistern. During the flood the waters gushed out of the earth, now the earth is going to be dry, due to drought. This is appearing more like a chiastic structure that we should study into more.
Many assume that He will return 2000 years after His resurrection. They have not sought out or are looking for those other events that must come before His return—namely Apollyon and the Two Witnesses. However, with Apollyon expected to come simultaneously according to the Jubilee cycles, it becomes obvious when the deception will occur.
The only way to know the fake is to know intimately the truth—i.e., Yehovah and His Torah. Be on guard. We are entering the most dangerous time in history. It is not just about your lives but also about your soul, whether you are raised at the resurrection in 2033 or lie asleep until the end of the 7th millennium to be judged at the Great White-thrown judgment.
Apollo is equated to Horus the son of Isis and Osiris. This is another version of Ham the son born of Noah;s wife and Ham the father. Once again the son becomes more important than the father. In this case, Horus is Apollo, the destroyer. Today most people know this god as Jesus the son of Mary and Joseph.
Many of his statues are depicted with either a harp or bow and arrows or killing the serpent. His statues were thought to be of King David in some circles.

Shabbat Shalom,
You are urging for everyone to be prepared with a bugout bag etc. I always had (in the past) this prepared. But our YHWH is merciful on those that love and obey him. So back in 2018 He did speak to my heart to leave my family and my home country to the place that was prepared for me. It took me until 2019 to leave but now I live in the mountains of a different country, waiting the next step in our Journey and with the confindence (which YHWH gave me since 2019) that i dont need a bug outbag, but i need to prepare and store up and can as much as possible for the time to come. I dont say that other people dont need a bugout bag or something like that, I just want to say YHWY is and will always be in control and knows what to you need at the right moment.
Mat 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
Mat 16:25 For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever desires to lose his life for My sake shall find it.
Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mat 16:27 For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He shall reward each one according to his works.
Mat 16:28 Truly I say to you, There are some standing here who shall not taste of death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.
If there is no one out there doing the work, teaching, studying and sharing, warning, then how will other learn? We have a job to do in these remaining days. Be ready to flee. Have food stored and water, and be ready. Until that time preach the gospel and help those who do.
There are many people running to hide. What will they receive from Yehshua for their works when He comes? He will reward them according to their works!!!
Consider The Parable of the Talents
Mat 25:14 For it is as if a man going abroad called his own servants and gave them his goods.
Mat 25:15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his ability. And he went abroad at once.
Mat 25:16 And going he who had received the five talents traded with them, and made another five talents.
Mat 25:17 And likewise he who had received two, he also gained another two.
Mat 25:18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the earth and hid his lord’s silver.
Mat 25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and took account with them.
Mat 25:20 And so he who had received five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, Lord, you delivered five talents to me. Behold, I have gained five talents above them.
Mat 25:21 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful over a few things; I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.
Mat 25:22 He also who had received two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered two talents to me. Behold, I have gained two other talents above them.
Mat 25:23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.
Mat 25:24 And he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew that you were a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.
Mat 25:25 And I was afraid and went and hid your talent in the earth. Lo, you have yours.
Mat 25:26 His lord answered and said to him, Evil and slothful servant! You knew that I reaped where I did not sow, and gathered where I did not scatter,
Mat 25:27 then you should have put my money to the exchangers, and coming I would have received my own with interest.
Mat 25:28 Therefore take the talent from him and give it to him who has ten talents.
Mat 25:29 For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will abound. But from him who has not, even that which he has shall be taken away from him.
Mat 25:30 And throw the unprofitable servant into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
